no P1RTIS4NSHIP THIS TINE.

The official report of the trial trip Of the
Boston fully sustains the favorable estimate
formed in these columns. by means of the
Indicator cards the actual power developed by
tho engines has been learned through COM
putatiou by the engineers. The result shows
an Improvement upon the approximate csti-
mates. The maximum horse power was 4.2lS,
or 74S in excess OF tho requirements Of the
contract. The mean horsepower for six hours
was 3,779, but there is every reason to believe
that it can be increased 10 1000 and easily
maintained at that point for long distances.
The trial trip was satisfactory from every point
of view, the diminutiOn of speed being fully
accounted for by the fact that the vessel had
not been locked for a year. Secretary Whit
ncy will be forced to admit that one at least
of the Roach cruisers is better ship than
the Government contracted for.
One result seems TO require special comment.
Why is il that the Boston has developed 500
or 800 more horsepower than the sister ship,
the Atlanta? The vessels were built in the
same yards upon substantially the same lines.
and uniform results in horsepower might
reasonably have been expected. IL there has
been material gain in horsepower. it can
only be explained on the supposition that
greater care was taken with coal and machin-
cry in the Bostons trial trip IN order to obtain
the best possible results. Competent cngin-
GERS took an active interest in their work and
there was no disposition manifested in any
quarter to deprcciate the cruisers value. II
equal care had been taken of the Atlanta, tho
machinery would have been equally efficient.
We tlust that the fairness with which the
Boston has been tested on her real
merits is an earnest of the future
policy Of the Department in dealing
with the Roach cruisers. The partsanshp
which has characterized previous transactions
with these vessels has been Secretary Whit
ncy's bcsctting sin.

he the fttest representative of the nation at
the anproaching festival of the one hundredth
anniversary of the Constitution. The Phlla-
dclphia Committee took no risks when they
assured him that he would be received IN
America as no man had been since Lafayette.
No other European would have had the same
greeting. 1t would not have been tribute OF
gratitude as it was with Lafayette. America
no longer needs to be grateful to any European.
To would have been tribute of profound re-
spcct and admiration for the greatest of

In talk with Mr.. Edgerton, Civil Service
Commissioner, which is reported elsewhere
in this paper, that gentleman speaks plainly
about the official business now occupying his
attention. Ii seems to be his opinion that the
beauty Of the Civil Service law lies chiefly in
what it cannot do. This view will please all
the stanch adherents of pure Jeffersonan De-
mocracy who want Republicans put out and
Democrats put in even at faster rate than
of late. The way to remove, according to Mr.
Edgerton, is TO remove; and no one has any
right to ask questions. How would it do for
the President to apply this rule in the Commits
sisner's own case?
The political campaign in this State next
month will be lively for many reasons, prime
among which is the part the United Labor
party will play-or perhaps work-in it. The
organization, it is said, has already arranged
fer $40 mass meetings, and it is to be hoped
that the speakers every time will
advise their hearers to vote only
for those candidates who are friends
of the workingmen, believe in giving them
all their rights and protecting them in tho
enjoyment of the same, and who, above all,
are in favor of keeping up the laboring mans
wages. Then and in that case the voters will
understand that Republican candidates and
none other are meant.
The laying of the cornerstone of its new
building was not needed to convince the pub
lie that tho New-York Consolidated Stock and
Petroleum Exchange is an institution of inn

fact was long ago furnished by the anxiety
which the members of the Older Exchange
displayed whenever they gazed at the figures
showing the large daily business done by
their rivals. The ceremonies Of yesterday at
Broadway and Exchange-place, however, serve
TO indicate that the Consolidated Exchange is
prosperous and is established upon firm
basis. The site of its new home has been

Crude Method of Avoiding Recognize

Crude Method of Avoiding Recognition
Concealed With Iron Spectacles.
The Milwaukee Sentinel tells the follow
ing story: R. N Austin, the well-known
attorney, and his wife returned yesterday
from a four weeks visit to Nantucket,
where they had been taking vacation.
On the same train through from the East
was Postmaster General Villas, who arrived
at his home yesterday afternoon, joining
his family, who are spending the summer
there. Mr.. Austin is an old acquaintance
of Col. Villas, having several times appeared
with him in the Supreme Court at Madison.
But aboard the train the Postmaster Gen
eral was travelling III disguise-perhaps to
avoid newspaper correspondents and public
attention So complete was his disguise
that Mr. Austin hesitated nearly twenty
four hours before speaking to his old
acquaintance, less he should find he was
mistaken, and perhaps be handel over to an
officer at way station as confidence man.
Speaking about his trip and the Villas Incl
dent to party of friends, yesterday, Mr.
Austin said:
1--WE left New York aboard q vestibule
train on the Pennsylvania road at O'Clock

ticed a man coming through our coach go

something about him that was foreign to
the Colonel. Then l remembered. It was
the absence of gold-rimmed spectacles. |

else. This man wore the ordinary specs,
such as | am accustomed TO wear and dir.
Austin put on pair of ordinary glasses.
Il inquired of the sleeping car conductor
if the Postmaster General was aboard the
train He said no. Then said, if / am
not much mistaken, Col. Villas is aboard the
train. But have been through the train
and taken the names of every onefor berths,

the conductor. Then | became convinced

AT breakfast time this morning the man
